The aim of the Careers Kit is to promote and disseminate the

numerous jobs and career opportunities in the Aerospace

Sector among youngsters, providing career-counselling

materials for both children/youngsters and adults (teachers,

other education support staff and parents/tutors) and

promoting stronger interaction between industry and

schools.

This Kit will include dynamic information regarding aerospace jobs

and the necessary training/education to achieve it. This information

will be supported with employment statistics within the sector,

professionals’ testimonials, tasks examples, related working

conditions, among others.

1

Aircraft design or aircraft maintenance?

Passenger handling or air traffic controller?

With many factors to take into consideration, check in for the

possible journeys in the aeronautics or air transport field,

getting a chance to explore the sector statistics and curiosities.

2

FLY TO THE

AEROSPACE

SECTOR…

Which route

will you take?

The Careers Kit will include information regarding job

positions and necessary training and education to

achieve it with advice and tips along the way.

The Aerospace/Defense Industry serves, as its name represents, two

main markets: Aerospace, which largely comprises the production,

sale, and service of commercial aircraft, and Defense, which is

dependent on the nation's need for military weapons and systems

designed to operate on land, sea, and in the air.

The Careers Kit will focus on the aerospace sector which can be

divided into two major areas:

aeronautics industry;

air transport.

Did you know aeronautics and air transport is not

only about Pilots and Cabin Crew?

These two areas involve lots of different jobs, from career paths

requiring master studies (such as Aviation Meteorologist) to others

demanding only secondary level combined with different small

specialization courses (such as Flight Dispatcher).

Also, did you know the jobs in the aeronautic

industry have a very interdisciplinary character?

Professionals working in the aeronautics industry are not directly

trained for aviation, but instead specialized, meaning that, for

instance, a CNC operator can move any time to the automotive

industry or other related.

3

Aerospace leads in the development and application of

innovation in both product and process. With the overriding duty of

safety, aerospace as a sector has a mature and well-defined

innovation methodology that makes it a challenging and exciting

field to work in.

Some innovative projects related to the Industry 4.0 in

Aeronautics are:

• 3D/Design applications: Advances in 3D technologies have

brought innovations in the aeronautics manufacturing industry.

Virtual reality and augmented reality have extended 3D design

capabilities. They allow 3D design and associated engineering

solutions to be used throughout the whole manufacturing

process and help to reduce production cost and to increase

flexibility and efficiency

• Internet of Things (IoT) applications: The deployment of

connected objects is transforming the aeronautics industry and

the manufacturing process. The European industry has to invest

both in technology and skills to sustain its position in a global

market.

Also, in-flight entertainment and communication has been a

focus of innovation. Up until recently, the aeronautical

communications market was still limited to operational

communications between aircraft cockpits and control towers. It is

now expanding by integrating data communications for passengers

and increasing coverage to a global level.

1. AERONAUTICS

INDUSTRY

According to the European Commission, Aeronautics is one of the

EU’s key high-tech sectors on the global market:

the EU is a world leader in the production of civil aircraft,

including helicopters, aircraft engines, parts and components;

the EU has a trade surplus for aerospace products, which are

exported all over the world.

The European aeronautics industry develops and manufactures civil

and military aircrafts, helicopters, drones, aero-engines and

other systems and equipment. The industry work involves:

designing components and systems and generating CAD models

and drawings; work such as fluids analysis or thermal analysis;

manufacturing the technology, developing and testing it; and

supporting the products in service.

Big manufacturing companies include Airbus, Boeing and

Bombardier, who design, manufacture and build aircraft, and Rolls-

Royce, General Electric and Pratt and Whitney, who design,

manufacture and build engines. Safran Landing Systems, Cobham

and QinetiQ are other big names. There is a large network of

smaller suppliers who support the big companies.

Productivity is considerable and despite high employment costs, the

sector is quite profitable. A sizeable share of value added is spent

on research and development (R&D), which is reflected in an

increasing number of patent applications (European Commission).

Employment

According to the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of

Europe (ASD), employment in ASD Industries reached 543,000 direct

units in 2016. Specifically, aeronautics provides more than 540,000

jobs and generated a turnover of close to EUR 150 billion in 2016

(ASD, FACTS&FIGURES, 2017 ).

The industry is highly concentrated, both geographically (in

particular EU countries) and in terms of the few large enterprises

involved. Employment in the aerospace sector is particularly

significant in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain,

Poland and Sweden.

Needs and tendencies

Aerospace engineers will be a promising career, not only because of

the estimated global demand for new passenger airplanes, but also

because of the rapid advancements in aerospace technology.

Also, digital transformation is a reality for A&D industry, so,

besides a strong vision from the top management, attracting and

retaining talent like data scientists and software experts will be

key.

1.1.1 CAD/CAM TECHNICIAN

TESTIMONIAL

“10 years ago, when I started working, I was a young and

inexperienced young man, without any knowledge of the business

industry and how to evolve and have a relationship between co-

workers, bosses and customers. I started my career as a CAD/CAM

analyst. Designing, checking fixtures and aeronautical parts were

freighting me back those days! But something inside me was happy

and excited about this difficult work. Many times, the work in hands

seems impossible to even begin! But I never give up and choose to

face the challenges. My background in Mechanical Engineering gave

me the tools to evolve and challenge myself. 10 years have passed

since, and after many challenges, happy and sad moments in my

professional live, I finally realize my long dream – to have my own

company. “Love what you do, no matter what it is, and try to be the

best at it”

“First, a key aspect that every professional that wants to pursue a

career in Aeronautical Engineering should bet on is the investment in

their own knowledge. If possible, still while doing their degrees, it is

fundamental to know what area the job areas that they enjoy the most

and try to get an in depth knowledge and know how on those

particular subjects. They can do some research on which companies

offer a job position in the areas they love and ask for an internship or

try to obtain more information regarding what those companies are

looking for in a candidate before they hire them.

Specifically for the Simulation area in Aeronautical Engineering, I think

it is a fascinating job position that offers some very different tasks than

what we were used to in the university. It is amazing to constantly

have to multitask between programming, software development,

building simulators, talk to different clients, build computers, try new

machines and so on. In my case, I had the opportunity to work with on

of the greatest leaders that any engineer could ever ask for the

beginning of their careers”.

“While working I use a lot of knowledge from my studies in the field

of construction, also construction of aircraft engines. After my first

month of work, I can say that the most important thing from my

studies is knowledge of technical drawing, technologies used in the

construction of turbine engine units and knowledge of CAD software.

Of course – you can’t learn all which is required for the constructor's

position only at the university, but you should not be discouraged

because it takes only a few weeks to master it”.

Arkadiusz Dąbek

Junior Construction Engineer

“As a Mechanical Engineer of Aircraft Engines, I moved in my career

from design of various components of aircraft turbine engines to their

service, which is what I am currently doing.

In my professional life I like to face real problems, which often have

many different sources. This causes many challenges: from parts

production, through its use to repair service.

Professional work also allows me to improve on what I have learned

before as well as get to know and develop new solutions and

technologies. Working in an aviation company also allows me to

meet new people, cultures and ways of working in various corners of

the world”.

“I was for many years Vibration test engineer at Active Space

Technologies. My role was to conduct vibration tests on micro-

satellites and satellite instruments, simulating conditions similar to

those of a rocket launch with an Ariane 5, for example. Being a test

engineer involves being responsible for a test machine (called a

"shaker"), being responsible for its maintenance and making sure

that the test requests sent by the customers are feasible with the

experimental means at my disposal. Once the test is agreed, the

satellite (or equipment to be tested) must be mounted, the

accelerometers and instrumentation placed on the satellite, the test

programmed (setting the expected acceleration levels), monitoring

the test, analyzing the results, and transmitting them to the customer.

What I like the most about this activity is "putting your hands in the

dough", tinkering with my own hands on satellites or instruments

that will fly on satellites, and seeing things that I have designed or

helped to develop to be tested to the limits. Sometimes it even

happens to see things starting! However, it is not always pleasant, we

have to redo the designs and manufacture again, but in engineering

we always learn from our mistakes”.

“I think that my job in the aviation industry is particularly interesting

because I literally build airplane components with my own hands that

will eventually end up in a ‘real’ airplane which is kind of mind-

boggling when you think about it. When someone thinks about

airplanes and how they are made, they probably think that every

single component is made by a robot or a machine but there are some

components that are made by hand, like the ones I make from

composite materials by a process called ‘hand lay-up’ which basically

means that I manually lay down individual layers of prepeg material

and manipulate each layer into shape so that they can adhere to each

other and to the mold without leaving air pockets between the layers.

Another aspect that I think should be improved is the availability of

specific education because I don’t think that there are that many

institutions that offer courses in this area. Obviously my education

background is completely different but I think it helped me somehow. I

think that if someone likes the aviation industry and would like to give

it a go I think they should, although they must have in consideration

that there are many methods and procedures they have to follow and

that is a stressful environment, but nonetheless, I think it is an

industry with a lot of future potential”.

“In my work I like the constant opportunity for development and

atmosphere of the team. I was surprised by the rapid rhythm of work

and changes of priorities - you have to make decisions dynamically. I

would recommend such a career path due to continuous self-

development and learning. The difficult part for me was that I have

met a completely different reality than at a university - things in

practice were very different from what I had learned in theory. But I

have got through it thanks to my great colleagues who introduced me

to my new duties. In my opinion, the most important stage of the

educational path was the internship when I was prepared to perform

my current duties. Therefore taking a metallurgist position was much

easier because I have already known the specifics of work.

My experience with this industry is that when you get on a plane, you

are a much more conscious passenger. You wonder whether you are

flying by plane, in which there is some part that you had in your

hands, with which you had a problem and which have solved.

The awareness of making one’s small contribution to something that

allows a person to be on the other side of the world in a few hours

really attracts people to this industry”.

“My job is to design and change technologies for heat and thermo-

chemical treatment for aircraft engine parts. The aviation industry is a

“Since I saw Star Wars as a kid, I knew that I wanted to make a career

in aeronautics. Growing up, I enrolled in a MSc in Aeronautical

Engineering. With my degree, I made my way to my current position as

Manufacturing Engineer at a major Aerospace company. A

manufacturing engineer is responsible for taking a project/drawing

and finding ways to produce it at the lowest cost, in the shortest time

possible and without incurring in defective products. After an assembly

line is implemented, the role of a Manufacturing Engineer turns to

continuous improvement. How can we produce faster and cheaper? To

achieve that, you have to rely in various methodologies to pinpoint the

problems and identify opportunities for improvement. This is where we

get to be creative and proactive in search of solutions. Those solutions

can either be simple modifications in the operational procedures (also

our responsibility to create) or may require serious investments that

take the form of projects that you have to lead and coordinate with

different departments within the company and even with suppliers.

Especially in the aerospace industry, where tight tolerances and

complex processes make the challenge bigger and rewards even more

satisfying. In my personal case, I deal with large metallic assemblies,

namely wings. These will then assemble to the remaining airplane

structures until we get the final airplane. I work in an assembly line

that I helped implement from scratch and that now I help develop to its

full potential. No doubt, the path was and is full of obstacles, but with

focus, proactivity and willingness to learn by yourself and from others

they can be surpassed. For me, to have something that started in my

head as a simple idea and getting it to work is a great boost to get out

of the bed in the morning. Every day is different and at the end, being

in an airport and looking at an airplane that I helped build is a great

reward”.

“Non-Destructive Testing, as the name implies, is an inspection

technique applied to one or more components alone or together

(installed) that allows the detection of defects without changing

components original form. Taking into consideration, the object of the

applied technique, defects such as cracks, corrosion, inclusions, cavities,

pores, etc. can be detected, wherein according to the type of

component, its condition, geometric form and criticality the method or

methods are chosen. (Penetrating Liquids, Magnetic Particles, Induced

Currents, Ultra-Sons, Rx) In my current activity (Team Leader of Non-

Destructive Testing) in Penetrating Liquids and Magnetic Particles

methods, the contact with people, managing them as technicians and

monitoring their professional development is what makes me feel

accomplished. The fact that in our activity inspections are made on

components both in the manufacturing process and in maintenance, is

something that helps us to grow more and more, for the diversity and

criticality of the components. Also, all components are made as the

first ones, even if there is already a vast history of previous inspections,

because they are for the aeronautical sector and, therefore, they

demand lots of requirements and concentration. It is an area in

constant evolution, where we work on various types of materials, and

the inspection techniques also tend to evolve in terms of products and

equipment, so that the technician has at his disposal more and more

available means”.

“My experience in the Portuguese Air Force for 32 years, with different

aircrafts, in several sectors of maintenance at various levels, of line,

backshop, hangar, cell, motors. This brought to me a lot and good

experience not only professionally but also personally. We learn to deal

with several people, with different backgrounds, personalities, ways of

thinking through each situation, but always with respect and

responsibility, which allowed us to be better persons and professionals.

As any other profession, the duty is always kept in mind, but in this

particular case of aviation, it increases a lot. Human lives depend on us

and they require a bigger focus, responsibility and attitude. Each one of

us has in charge for each other and for his/her job, which means that we

are technicians and inspectors of each other. As it is said in regular

language: “planes are not cars that you can lean against the roadside

when they broke down” or “move and don’t stay up there”. The

evolution in aviation keeps moving and with high technologies always

improving, which show us that we don’t know everything and there is

always what to learn. Who ever gets in for the first time in a plane never

forgets what is the feeling of that experience, which lead us to do it

again and to the curiosity of knowing how it all works, which become all

2. AIR

TRANSPORT

AND FLIGHT

OPERATIONS

Europe has one of the most liberalized and integrated air

transportation markets in the world. The single aviation market

created by the European Union (EU) was subsequently expanded to

the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA). Over 40 per cent of

seats are offered by LCCs, which is the highest among all world

regions. Air transport supports 12.2 million jobs and generates $823

billion within European economic activity. That is 3.3% of all

employment and 4.1% of all GDP in European countries in 2016.

Forecasts suggest that in 2036 aviation could see over 7.7 billion

passengers and support 97.8 million jobs and $5.7 trillion in economic

activity worldwide.

Figure 2. Total jobs and GDP

supported by air transport in Europe

Source: Aviation Benefits Beyond

Borders 2018.

The total impacts – including those

from the operations of the air transport

sector itself, the impact of the air

transport sector’s procurement of

inputs of goods and services from its

supply chain, and the impact of

employees of the air transport sector

and its supply chain spending their

wages – mean the air transport sector

supported 12.2 million jobs and

contributed $823 billion to GDP in

Europe. (Aviation Benefits Beyond

Borders, 2018).

48

Air travel in Europe is expected to continue to grow at about 3.4%

per year over the next two decades. This increase will, in turn, drive

growth in the economic output and jobs that are supported by the air

transport industry over the next 20 years. Oxford Economics forecasts

that by 2036 the impact of air transport and the tourism it

facilitates in Europe will have grown to support 18 million jobs

(49% more than in 2016) and a $1.6 trillion contribution to GDP (a

90% increase).

Employment

Every person directly employed in the aviation sector and in tourism

made possible by aviation supported another 4.7 jobs elsewhere in

Europe. The aviation sector in Europe directly employed an

estimated 2.6 million people in 2016. (Aviation Benefits Beyond

Borders, 2018)

• 519,000 of those people (20% of thetotal) were in jobs for airlines orhandling agents (for example, flightcrew, check-in staff, maintenancecrew, reservations and head officestaff).

• Another 166,000 people (6.5% of thetotal) worked for airport operators(for example, in airportmanagement, maintenance, security,and operations).

• 1.5 million jobs (57%) were on-sitein airports, at retail outlets,restaurants, hotels, etc.

• A further 341,000 people (13%) wereemployed in themanufacture of civilaircraft (including systems,components, airframes, and engines)– what we have referred in thisCareers Kit as Aeronautics Industry.

• Air navigation service providersemployed an additional 77,000people (3%).

“As an intern in the Airport Security Department, one of my tasks is to

determine the necessary people and schedule for the Passenger

Screening area. As you may know, the passenger flow in an airport is

not even throughout the day. There are times when there are a lot of

passengers arriving at the airport, checking in, going thru security and

boarding the flights, and there are sometimes when all the flights have

departed and there are few passengers arriving at the airport to wait

for the next flight. So, to avoid long queues on one hand, and idle

screening positions on the other, we must optimize the number of

necessary staff to the screening point at a given time, so that we do

not have expenses during off hours. This is what we can call as part of

the short-term planning. As a long-term planning, considering the

estimates of passenger and cargo movement growth, we plan for

additional staff hiring, new security screening equipment or

undergoing constructions works to increase the airport capacity.

Another task we perform is under Quality Control. The regulatory

framework in Aviation Security is very strict, for all the known reasons.

There are a lot of rules and regulations that we must abide by, so we

perform audits and tests to determine if we are meeting the necessary

standards in terms of performance and requirements. These audits and

tests cover not only the security screening procedures of passengers,

staff, hand and hold luggage, and so on, but also the physical

infrastructure requirements, such as limitation fences or access control

doors, and the security access card issuing procedures, just as an

example”.

“Currently, every air operator is obliged by international regulations to

Therefore, for several years, the position of Safety Manager has been

established, which deals with the administration of the Safety

Management System (SMS). Security understood as SAFETY is a

continuous process of risk identification and risk management and

keeping it at an acceptable level. The main elements of the SMS are,

among others: identification of threats, risk analysis, reporting system

of events likely to affect the safety of flight operations, applying the

principles of the culture of fair treatment of so-called "just culture".

Through the SMS system, employees are encouraged to report any

irregularities, errors, occurring situations or identified threats that can

of responsibilities you didn’t even know existed. Personally I feel I grew

immensely after a year of working in aviation. On the other hand,

professionally speaking, I consider that being a cabin crew and/or

working in aviation is one of the best jobs in the world. You get to

travel, meet new cultures, visit countries you probably never would,

encounter amazing people from everywhere around the world, learn

new languages and so much more. But for me, the most important and

most gratifying part of the job is the proximity to the passengers. The

feeling you get when you see that you are part of their own journey

and that they look to you for protection, for safety, for comfort or

sometimes just so you can ease their fear of flying. With this job you

can truly have a connection and a proximity with all kinds of people.

And the best thing of them all, is that every single day is different.

There isn’t one day in this job that is the same, and I love that. It isn’t

an easy job, I must say. It is very demanding, physically and

psychologically as well. Physically because you work a lot of hours,

sometimes during the night when your body is used to being asleep,

and you don’t have enough time to rest properly or even eat proper

healthy food (which obviously affects your body). Psychologically

speaking, it can also be tricky as you spend a great part of the time

alone, because you are always flying with different crew members it is

difficult to keep a good relationship or even a friendship outside the

aircraft. But that all depends on your own personality! There are

people who don’t even see that as a problem, some that handle it

pretty well and others that don’t. Finally, I just want to say that I think

everyone should have the opportunity of working in aviation. It just

gives you so many skills and so many knowledge about life, in all

aspects, which no other job gives”.

• Type-rating course on a company aircraft;

• After 1,500 hours of flying time (500 of that must be in a plane

which requires more than one crew to operate it), it will be issued

a full ATPL. This is what is required to progress to the role of

captain;

• Flying a larger aircraft rather than becoming a captain;

• Move into office-based management roles (that could combine

with some active flying time too);

• Flight operations inspectors; and Specialists in air accident

investigators.

• Due to renovation of routes, increased number of fleet,

replacement of retired employees and new fleet models which

require new type-ratings the job opportunities for pilots in the

next years will increase. According to APPLA (Portuguese

HOW TO GET THE JOB?

76

“Flying in ever-changing and uncertain atmospheric conditions is

difficult and the Specialist Aviation Meteorologist helps in

understanding the weather in the area and during the particular pilot

flight or mission.

There is no routine in an aviation weatherman work because almost

every day the weather is different. This is work for passionate people

who are keen on the weather; the ones who think otherwise always

had hard time in this work.

The fairly complicated weather in Poland means that the training takes

a very long time but brings a lot of satisfaction. Contact with the

aviation industry (pilots, controllers, airport dispatchers, etc.) and

frequent trips abroad broaden your knowledge, not only in the aspect

of aviation meteorology. The group of aviation meteorologists in

Poland is small, that is why they know the sector well. There are

frequent trainings both for learning and teaching”.
